Hey all, I'm heading to Japan in November and will be heading the way of Osaka with an option to stop by Kojima and was wondering which of the two would be better in terms of selection and available stock in general. I would be heading to Osaka first followed by Kojima after.

Just wanted to scout ahead with those in the know because my worry would be that I would go all out in Osaka and find better/exclusive pieces in Kojima, or vice versa, where I would hold off on buying anything in Osaka but will later find nothing much/lacklustre selections in Kojima.

Anyone been to Kojima and can vouch for one being better than the other? Any help and advice is welcome! Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, this is my first post here!
I’m looking for some advice on my next pair of jeans. I’ve been getting more and more into Japanese repro / vintage denim, especially hairy, textured denims, WWII-era pieces, 1940s Americana and military clothing, and I’m trying to find the next pair that will really add something special to my collection.

For my next pair of jeans, I’m looking for something that feels iconic and timeless, rather than just buying another pair because it’s different.
At the moment I’m stuck between:

Sugar Cane 1947
vs.
Fullcount 0105XX

I really like both, but I’m having a hard time deciding which one makes more sense for me.
I love the look of the Sugar Cane 1947 because it feels like such a classic 1940s repro and seems like it would fit perfectly with the rest of my wardrobe. On the other hand, the Fullcount 0105XX has that wider, high-rise silhouette which would give me something a little different.

I’m around 190 cm / 85 kg (6’3”, \~187 lbs)
Μy ideal jeans waist measurement is about 88cm

My TCB Early 40s in W36 fits pretty well, but I think I’d actually prefer 1–2 cm more room in the waist.
On the other hand, my TCB 20s in W38 is quite large and honestly not very comfortable. It tends to fall down unless I wear suspenders, and if I try to keep it up with a belt I have to cinch the belt down quite a lot. So W38 in that particular cut feels like too much for me.
If there was a size w37 on TCB , would be my golden size
That’s part of why I’m hesitant about sizing the 0105XX — I don’t want a pair that is technically my size but ends up being too loose in the waist or requiring suspenders.

For those who have experience with these two models:
Which one would you choose for my build and collection?
● Sugar Cane 1947 vs Fullcount 0105XX?
● What size would you recommend?
● How different are they in terms of rise, thigh and overall silhouette?
● Which one do you think is more versatile/timeless / iconic?
● And which one would work better with things like an A-2, N-1, WWII tanker, denim jackets etc

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually owned/worn either (or both).

Thanks in advance — and sorry for the long first post! 😅

Hello,

I’ve been trying to find a pair of w33 or w34 0605SILK. I was wondering if anyone knew of where to find them? I don’t think they were a recent release and they’re probably not available, but thought I’d ask.

Thanks

Need some 8oz denim international shippers

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has taken in the wrangler 13mwz seat? I wear a size 40-42 waist but the larger size jeans move the pockets so far apart that it makes me look wider and doesn’t look flattering on my, umm, bum lol. Would taking in the seat and moving the pockets closer solve my issue?

How do I tell the quality of jeans? Like jorts. For example it's easier to tell the quality of shirts and hoodies because I know what materials are quality, like preference towards cotton. But for jeans? Everything looks the same online and I don't know the difference between the materials or what to look for.

TLDR: I'm short and "short" and "petite" jeans from Gap, Old Navy, and Aerocrombie & Fitch are too long. What now?

I'm 5'0 and usually land somewhere in a size 9, 10, or 11. I used to buy Walmart jeans when they did odd sizing, -- I would be a 9 -- but now their evens only size 10 doesn't fit. I switched to Levi's and ended up being size 30W 28L in their 721 line. The material is too thin and wears out in the thigh area. I wear jeans for work so it's not feasible to be spending $70+ each on four pairs of jeans for them to last half of a year. So, I splurged and got 11 pairs across Old Navy, Gap, and Aerocrombie & Fitch from their online stores. I got different styles, demin blends, and colours. At Old Navy I got "short" and "petite," at GAP I got "petite," and at A&F I got "short." Everything fits size-wise, but length-wise they're all two-to-three inches too long.

I have the skills to hem the skinny, slim, straight, and baggy jeans I got. However, the flare and bootcut -- which I was most excited for -- may be more difficult and out of my skill range. Is it worth it to send the jeans to get hemmed or is there a way to purchase the jeans in the a shorter size?

I have returned to 501s after wearing Timberland and Gant and GAP jeans for a few years. I like a button fly. It should be more popular particularly among men.

So, I got Levi's Men's 501 Original Jeans - Adapt Indigo Rinse in colour. UK - £62.33 US - $88.00 - I'm happy with that price point, I'm in the UK.

I'm 6" 2' and 185 lbs - 185cms and 85kgs. I've gone for 36w 36l

I get them next Tuesday if they're a good fit I'll order another pair.

I wanted to try the heavier Japanese selvedge denim. I just couldn't get my head around the brands. What makes it harder is that it's hard to find these in a 'walk-in' store. The Hollister's and Hugo Boss stores are unpleasant and cost too much. So I have to go by what I see, rather than what I can hold and touch and even try on.

I looked UNIQLO and really like the ethos of the company. Their jeans, however, were either like denim windsocks stitched to make jeans; or if they looked like normal cut and fit they had stretch added - hate that stuff with a passion!

Naked and famous - what a weird name for a pair of jeans - they have a caricature of a half naked woman on the leather patch - is that necessary!?
